Must Do

Sydney is packed with kid-friendly things to do

Mild winter weather makes mid-year a perfect time to get out and explore, with most attractions close to the city or easily accessible by public transport.

Take a virtual tour to the moon, planets or another solar system at the Sydney Observatory in The Rocks where youll see the universe come to life through amazing 3D technology. Head off on a different voyage of discovery under the sea or through the human body at the world's largest IMAX Theatre in Darling Harbour. Take the express lift to Sydney Tower Eye, the city's tallest structure standing 250 metres high, and be wowed by the views from the observation desk. If the family is feeling adventurous, Skywalk on a glass platform outside the tower, or scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Interactive, child-focused exhibits make Sydneys museums a hit during winter. Close to Circular Quay, the Justice and Police Museum allows kids to play cop for a day in a thrilling exploration of law and order. Nearby, the Australian Museum has an excellent dedicated area for under-fives.

Sydneys family-friendly beaches are an attraction all year round. Rug up and let the kids play on the sand or in one of the citys many beachside playgrounds, while you sip a coffee or nibble on fish and chips.

Located in the heart of Darling Harbour, the IMAX Theatre Sydney is home to one of the world's largest cinema screen.
